SS Credit 5.2:

Reduce the development footprint and/or provide vegetated open space within the project boundary such that the amount of open space exceeds local zoning requirements by 25%... Provide a vegetated open space area adjacent to the building that is equal in area to the building footprint.

SiteScapes site furnishings provide utility and function to your open space project in tandem with your design. SiteScapes benches, trash receptacles and bike racks are functional furnishings that can be incorporated into your open space.

MR Prerequisite 1:

Provide an easily-accessible dedicated area or areas for the collection and storage of materials for recycling for the entire building. Materials must include, at a minimum: paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastics and metals

MR Credit 5.2:

Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts resulting from transportation.
